I agree --leave the book as is.

If you watch a movie about hardened criminals in prison, you don't expect them to say "golly gosh-darn gee" and "fiddlesticks." If you read a book written in the 1800s about the ugly reality of slavery and racism, you don't expect them to say "African-Americans." This is censorship and a deliberate attempt to sanitize history. Inexcusable.
